“Cute, very clean traditional cottage! Loved the interior! Super friendly! Close to Cong, unfortunately no footpath.”

A FlipKey Verified Reviewer, August 2014

“The cottage was far and away the nicest holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. It oozed comfort, was spotlessly clean and the owners were welcoming and friendly. The photos on the website didn't do justice to how beautifully the cottage was decorated and furnished. We would definitely recommend Jaunty Cottage to others.”

Mrs Northfield, Swindon, August 2016

“It is an excellent location, good eating places locally. The cottage is lovely, lots of room and the bed is extremely comfortable.”

Mr Bould, GALSTON, July 2016

“We liked the peace and quiet of the house and garden set back from the road, also the location which is great for touring Mayo and Galway.”

Mr McDermott, BALLINCOLLIG, June 2016

“The cottage was wonderful, just gorgeous. We had an incredible stay and we hope to be back!”

Ms Newell, Twickenham, April 2016

“We loved this house, it was so beautifully maintained and there was really everything we could possibly need! We loved the open fire and the generous supply of wood. Our kids also loved the large garden and swing set, we would certainly recommend this house to family & friends.”

Ms Swabey, March 2015

“We loved the cottage so much we wanted to pick it up and move it to Australia with us. It was perfect for us. The bedding, décor, furnishings and overall feel of the cottage was the best we have encountered in a holiday home anywhere. The surrounds were lovely and the villages close enough for pubs, convenience store etc.”
